I've spent the last three days at SEMA 2015. Here are some pics of the EBs here as well as something rather exciting...something that replaces the steering box.

Re: Broncos at 2015 SEMA .. And a new steering system
Cool. Would love to see the linkage up close on that Uni-Steer setup to see how it handles the up-n-down movement of the suspension.
Looks like you caught a candid of Danica Patrick there at the Roush trailer in pic #2 post #4.

Nice pics!
Rack & Pinion mounted on the front axle housing: Not a fan, bad idea. Now the steering u-joints & slip-section (double D?) are exercised with the suspension motion - something they were not designed to do.Cross-threaded is tighter than lock-titeComment

Re: Broncos at 2015 SEMA .. And a new steering system
So next year I must attend SEMA. It has been settled. Anybody who may have extra tickets or whatever... consider me "in". I have a car that could do Vegas and back on a single tank.
I have been wanting to see how the linkage actually works because my initial reaction is like yours... bad idea. If there's some kind of trick slip joint, I could see it being pretty cool. Too many u-joints in a steering column tends to not be the best. I do think that a rack and pinion could really tighten up an EB steering setup though with a proper linkage. It's an intriguing idea.Originally posted by ntsqd View Post1970 Bronco

Re: Broncos at 2015 SEMA .. And a new steering system
Ya I reviewed my other photos...guess that was Danica Patrick...I wondered what the fuss was about. That was in the Ford booth outside.
so looking at the steering linkage, it came down onto the axle assembly using a slip joint almost vertically down. They used a pretty hefty heim to hold that linkage tight to the frame. I decided afterwards that it looks like an exciting design to try. It might prove extreamly stable. I would love to see a test vehicle to drive and try it.Last edited by Spaceburger; 11-09-2015, 06:56 PM.Relativity: Where ever you go, there you are.Comment

Nice looking rigs, really like the silver one. Sometimes I wish I had gone to school to build custom cars like I wanted to.1970 Bronco 302 np435 3.5 lift 33s disc brakes ford 9 w Yukon lockerComment
